  No, I’m talking about where the urine hits the toilet. If it hits a part that doesn’t get washed by the flush, the urine dries out there and smells.

  • Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
  • Cleaner for the bathroom: zero risk foreskin messing up your aim and having pee hit areas that don’t get washed by the flush
  • Better urine elimination for men that have prostate issues or lower urinary tract symptoms. I don’t, but it’s a factor
  • More chill to sit down and check your phone while in the bathroom

  I knew I felt completely done with the town I grew up in at the point where I graduated high school. Through some funny circumstances, I then spent an additional 3 years there attending University.

  Then I moved to the biggest city in our country in search of better job prospects. It was mostly about the availability of jobs at that point, I didn’t have a specific desire to move to this particular city for any other reasons, as I didn’t really know how it would be to live in a different city. I figured I could always move back - or to another place - if things didn’t work out.

  I have never looked back, as I learned that I really enjoy living in larger cities over smaller more car-dependent ones. I miss nothing from my old city, except maybe vicinity to my parents, which was never something I valued particularly highly anyway.

  So quite literally worse than a coin flip, then.

  Streaming lossless audio will use up three to six times as much data, along with the higher processing demands to play them back, so there’s always a penalty involved. We didn’t invent codecs for no reason.

  Based on the vibes of every internet comment field, literally everyone and their mother wants to stream lossless.

  You’re right about the audible benefits however

  I assume you’re implying racism. There’s absolutely latent racism in there as well. But even if you look like a Swede, speak swedish, but have an accent or dress in a way that stands out or break some of the other tenants of jantelagen people will steer away. People of non-european descent just have it 10x harder.

  I wasn’t primarily implying racism, but it’s probably part of the equation. I was moreso thinking about other forces mentioned in my reply, like the very large issue of complete housing market malfunction.

  I get the feeling that this might be a more rural attribute, but that might be my personal experience just being different.

  I wasn’t saying it was completely intentional, I was saying it was part of the insular nature of Swedes. If you’re talking about kommun housing then I agree, that’s procedural, but it does require someone who knows the process. But if you want to rent second-hand, you need to meet that person and if you’re not a Swede many people will require a Swede to vouch for you.

  I think this is just another aspect of the housing crisis being the everything crisis - there’s no real need for second hand renting in a paradigm of complete housing abundance, as we had at the end of Miljonprogrammet.

  Alcohol is taxed significantly in bars and outside.

  A beer in the alcohol monopoly store - the only place that can legally sell alcohol surpassing 3.5% ABV - starts at about 10 SEK, approximately 1 EUR/USD.

  A beer in a bar starts at perhaps 40 SEK, if you go to a really cheap place. Upscale places charge higher prices accordingly, with prices around 100 SEK not being uncommon.

  To cope with the prices, a culture of pre-gaming has evolved in Sweden, so that you don’t have to break the bank once you’re out drinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen girls are being used as hitwomen in Sweden's organized crime wars: "Young kids are thirsty for blood"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sweden took in more refugees than it had infrastructure to help integrate with.

  To be clear, this was a choice. The amount of disinvestment since the 80s in social housing, schooling and other social programs has been truly remarkable.

  Swedes are culturally insular so when there were friction points the Swedish reaction is pull back. This leads to isolation.

  This is largely bullshit in my experience - people use it as a convenient explanation for what can adequately be explained by other forces

  This leads to isolation. That lead to ghettos and a perfect breading ground for crime and gangs.

  There’s no intentional isolation on the part of immigrants as much as there’s a diminishing social housing stock/social housing being sold out to slumlords.

  People don’t intentionally select high crime areas to live in - they are not given the option to live somewhere else.

  Because of Swedens laws protecting minors the gangs have figured out that paying them for hits on rivals and their families had little penalty. This started in Denmark as their testing ground.

  Using kids for gang hits is common in other places as well, because kids get more lenient sentences in other places too. See the U.S for an example on this trend being present earlier in history.

  This is not accurate whatsoever, Sweden has similar levels of alcohol consumption per capita to Spain, where alcohol is not expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen girls are being used as hitwomen in Sweden's organized crime wars: "Young kids are thirsty for blood"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Since when are there Swede rappers? That is weird enough in itself.

  What are you even trying to imply here? Rap has been a thing in Sweden for decades, what’s weird about it?

  I get that drugs are largely the issue, but these people live in a country with a laundry list of social welfare programs that most people could only dream of. Free healthcare, free education at all levels, and a boatload of economic support initiatives for people in poverty. They literally are living life on easy mode compared to the rest of the poor people in the world for the most part. Why do they turn to drugs in the first place? It clearly shouldnt be out of hopelessness for their situation…

  We’ve been dealing with rising inequality in Sweden for the last ~50 years. We’ve also had large amounts of immigration, with these immigrants in many ways having become second class citizens, getting concentrated into the diminishing stock of social housing/slum lord-controlled areas. We also have an unusually restrictive policy against drugs, the sales of which then becoming one of the few lucrative options for someone growing up in a poor area.

  It’s similar motivations to what happens in the U.S - if you’re poor, some of the only realistic options for making it big from your perspective is either a career in professional sports (see Zlatan Ibrahimovic) or drugs (see various gang bosses)

  This whole situation is ridiculous. It seems like there is some underlying culture glorifying the violence that occurs in countries where people dont have any of what the Swedes have available to them. None of them need to deal drugs to survive, or commit acts of violence. None of them even need to be using drugs out of hopelessness for their future. Its like the equivalent of suburban American kids with college funds wanting to be gangbangers because they think its cool. Fucking stupid

  It’s not necessarily that they pursue these “careers” out of a need to fuel a drug addiction, although that may certainly become a motivation for maintaining it - along with the threat of violence if leaving.

  Some of the largest consumers of drugs in Sweden are the richest people, having lots of money to spend on cocaine. Again, a similar situation to the U.S in many ways here.

  Wait, why would this be racist? Tap water is not potable in Mexico, locals drink bottled/filter their water. Am I missing something here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doxxed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More space isn’t necessarily a better thing, there are very real diminishing returns after a certain point. Plus, living space is both an asset and a liability - you have to pay to keep the space warm or cool depending on your local climate, and you also have to clean the space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bit different with mass market mobile applications because of the supply chain constraints - most notably the Apple reviewing process. Your next app release may for whatever reason they feel like unexpectedly take an additional week, so do ensure that your QA is in order before releasing.

  Another significant factor is the lack of control you have over the software once released - any bugs you ship may potentially be out there for a long, long time.

  Web applications don’t have these constraints and can as such be deployed an infinite amount of times per day. The same goes for backend services, deploy to your hearts content.

  This basically means that most larger mobile applications have adopted approximately weekly release cadences, and that we’ve had to get very good at using feature flagging to control our software in the wild, and avoid large impact of shipped bugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the contrary, the rate of mobile app updates being high is more of a red flag of an app development team not having the situation under control, being forced to panic-ship fixes.
